Who knew so many people were playing life oracles and building their characters around channelling? I guess we know now it's a lot!

I would think with Hell's Vengeance there are a lot of us playing Life Oracles. It is the best way to get healing on evil characters.

If it'll take several days to rebuild the way Hero Lab handles a mechanic, that's probably going to go on the back burner.
Another thing that can raise the importance of a bug is whether it was working at one time - fixing recently created mistakes is a priority.
Also important is how easily you can work around the bug - if it just alters the prereqs, for example, making it give an incorrect error, or when it doesn't report an error it should, that's not a major problem - users can still make a working character, they just have to ignore a message, or be careful to enforce a prereq themselves.
The percentage of characters affected is also important - if the bug only occurs on a specific build that requires a particular weapon + a particular feat + a particular class ability in order to encounter the issue, that's not as important as if something that would be encountered at 5th level by anyone playing a certain core rulebook character.

This is something that was working when I built the character and stopped working after the last big update.
I get the priority issue and honestly, it is only a warning, and does not seem to effect the play ability of the character in Hero Lab. It is just the annoying red lettering and error message I get that bothers me. I hate error messages, they play with my OCD.
